Self-Represented Man Fights 3-Year Jail Term | Roanoke News
Description
A Lynchburg man, Michael Lee Perry III, remains jailed for nearly three years after a judge denied his bond request in a case tied to the August 2023 death of his estranged wife, Avriel Hooks. Facing aggravated murder charges — one of Virginia’s toughest — Perry, representing himself, claims he’s been overcharged and not a flight risk, even accusing prosecutors of desperation. But the judge sided with the prosecution, citing Perry’s repeated delays and the potential for a life sentence, ruling he poses a flight and community danger risk. Perry requested extensive legal resources, which the judge denied except for basic supplies and standby counsel assistance. He also plans to file a judicial complaint over perceived bias and seek another delay, with his trial set for October 5th.
